Prominent in the district is the First Baptist Church, which was built near its present location in 1809 using timbers from an earlier 1731 meeting house, and the 1845 Greek Revival Fisher School, which has been restored by the Westwood Historical Society.

[2] The school was named in honor of Daniel Fisher, the colonial Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Deputies, and Ebenezer Fisher, a 19th-century representative to the Great and General Court.

[4][2] The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
